Buying - needs room for 3 child seats

We're currently in the adoption process and may be shortly getting 3 children into our lives, all under 5. They will need car seats and enough boot space to carry buggies etc.

I currently have a '12 plate Citroen C3 VTR+ 1.4 with 39k on the clock and FSH to p/x plus 2-2.5k to spend.

What do you recommend for my budget to accommodate 3 child seats as I have heard this is a challenge in most cars? Priorities: space, reliability, quality of drive. Not priorities: badge.

All Citroen Picassos, old model Peugeot 308SWs, Peugeot 5008, Ford S-Max have three full sized seats across the centre rear.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
